I have tried Secret Armory once. His starting price for suits is Php25,000.00. For H&S or Drapers fabrics, suits start at around Php55,000.00. I would say that hIs attention to detail is way better than Cornelio. However, turnaround time is approximately 3 to 4 months.- aon

He's actually carrying them for me :D According to Cornelio, the proper fit of single pleated trousers is much harder to execute. I'm having one made by him with deeper pleats. Let's see how it will turn out.- aon

I agree. I think you have to start building your relationship with Cornelio first. I was working with him for a few months already before I requested him to do alterations on my rtw jackets/suits. Not the same handle. I was not an active poster but I used to lurk at the watch forum there.- aon

^ I actually prefer that length for suit jackets. For sports jackets I prefer them to be around 2 cm shorter or as long as the ass is covered. I also do not like short jackets with high buttoning point like those being sold in Zara or Massimo Dutti. Here's another angle of the Eidos Napoli...- aon

Handmade buttonholes by Cornelio: The jacket is from Eidos Napoli (Isaia's other brand). I asked Cornelio to redo the buttonholes and to take in the waist a bit.- aon

^ For english shoes, I have tried Grenson, Cheaney, and C&J handgrade and I really like C&J especially the 337 last (but I would prefer Carmina over C&J handgrades). Can't justify buying EG or G&G because there is Vass at a lower price point.- aon

BTW, Cornelio's still a better option for alternations than those alteration shops in the malls. I have trusted him with my RLPL, Borrelli, Isaia, Partenopea, etc. I'm not sure though if he will accept an alteration job from a new customer.- aon

I still have patience for trousers. But for jackets and suits I have also given up on local tailors. It's also a good thing that Cornelio's shop is in Makati. I can drop by his shop before going to my office. For shoes, after trying several brands, I have decided that my future purchases...- aon

I had to supply the fabric since he does not have any cotton or linen fabrics in his shop. All my instructions and discussions are with Cornelio. I even had to give him a 2 pages of instructions and photos to ensure that all the details will be put in place. But I think some of these...- aon
